Gospel : Matthew 18:15-20
15 "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.
16 But if he doesn't listen, take one or two more with you, that at the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.☆
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.
18 Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
19 Again, assuredly I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them."
☆18:16: Deuteronomy 19:15

Ezekiel 33:7-9
7 So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
8 When I tell the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you don't speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

Romans 13:8-10
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.
9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal,"* "You shall not covet,"☆ and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbour as yourself."☆
10 Love doesn't harm a neighbour. Love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
*13:9: TR adds "You shall not give false testimony,"
☆13:9: Exodus 20:13-15,17; Deuteronomy 5:17-19,21
☆13:9: Leviticus 19:18
